| description | One of the most important questions raised in the crucial period 1810-1812 was legitimacy and governability of the cities. Who governs and on behalf of who? as it was stated by F.X. Guerra. The cities retook the control of their sovereignty and fronted the nationalist demands. The king being absent, the cities decided that their sovereignty should return to the people from where it came from. In view of the situation of Spain, the American world was divided as in the metropolis. The break-up of the Junta Central and the constitution of the controversial Council of Regency touched the American society and that restlessness was reflected in the town councils. The cities, as central axis, and the towns, around which the activities of the neighbors are organized, constituted a political reference. But what was understood by towns? The cities with town council or the capital cities that attributed themselves that right? |

Social Sciences One of the most important questions raised in the crucial period 1810-1812 was legitimacy and governability of the cities. Who governs and on behalf of who? as it was stated by F.X. Guerra. The cities retook the control of their sovereignty and fronted the nationalist demands. The king being absent, the cities decided that their sovereignty should return to the people from where it came from. In view of the situation of Spain, the American world was divided as in the metropolis. The break-up of the Junta Central and the constitution of the controversial Council of Regency touched the American society and that restlessness was reflected in the town councils. The cities, as central axis, and the towns, around which the activities of the neighbors are organized, constituted a political reference. But what was understood by towns? The cities with town council or the capital cities that attributed themselves that right? Una de las cuestiones importantes que surgieron en el periodo crucial 1810-1812 fue el de la legitimidad y la de la gobernabilidad. ¿Quién gobierna y en nombre de quién?, como ya planteó F.X. Guerra. Las ciudades reasumieron la soberanía y estuvieron al frente de las reivindicaciones nacionalistas. Ausente el monarca, se decide que la soberanía debe volver al pueblo de donde surgió. Ante la situación que vivía España elmundo americano se dividió de la misma manera que en la metrópoli. La disolución de la Junta Central y la constitución del controvertido Consejo de Regencia, conmovió a la sociedad americana y esa inquietud se reflejó en los cabildos. La ciudad como centro articulador y el pueblo, en torno a los cuales se organizan las actividades de los vecinos se constituyeron en un referente político. ¿Pero qué se entendió por pueblo? ¿Las ciudades con cabildo o las ciudades capitales que se atribuyeron ese derecho?
